Your generosity helps survivors gain freedom from violence and abuse
YWCA San Diego County relies on the generosity of donors like you to power our mission and help survivors rebuild their lives. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization funded by philanthropic and community support.
1 in 4 women, 1 in 7 men, and 1 in 2 trans and nonbinary people face domestic violence. With your support, we can ensure that survivors have access to our crisis interventions, housing and shelter programs, and advocacy and support services. Your tax-deductible gift provides hope for survivors and makes a lasting impact on those who desperately need our help.
In addition to financial contributions, we rely on in-kind donations, volunteers, and community partnerships to fulfill our mission.
For more information about ways to support survivors, please contact Darlene Moreno, Development Manager, at 619.239.0355 x225.
